Any other place but TV, you probably wouldn't need an update. Muskegon, Michigan, hasn't added a new road in over a decade!

My friend went to update her Garmin when she moved down here, and found out she could get a new Tom Tom cheaper. If ours didn't have Europe in it (bought many years ago when they were beaucoup bucks), we'd do the same.

But I had to update the Garmin in the car because it wouldn't find our street when we moved here, and we really needed it! Had no choice, and the car was only 6 months old. I think it cost $179. I was P-OH'D!
If you buy the updates piecemeal you are going to pay a fortune. Purchase the unlimited updates/downloads and you will save a great deal of money.
